Our common enemy is state and capital, not people who are in the same social and class as 
ours. That is why our class and international solidarity, both towards the people of 
Palestine, which is against the oppression and atrocities of the Zionist regime, and to 
the oppressed and exploited Israel - while defending the reactionary and fascist voices of 
anti-Semitism - as for us the universal emancipation knows neither borders nor 
nationalities. ---- The only way for universal human emancipation is the social 
revolution. The only war for the oppressed is the class. ---- The recognition of Jerusalem 
as the capital of Israel by the President of the United States Donald Trub, and the 
embassy's transfer from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, was intended to further aggravate the 
already unstable and tense climate prevailing in the wider Middle East and Eastern 
Mediterranean. Of course, the US Congress had decided to recognize Jerusalem as the 
capital of Israel in 1995, but US presidents since then they have not validated 
recognition. Now, this political intervention by Tramp and the US changes the current data 
and, possibly, the geopolitical balances and the scale of confrontation between the rival 
forces, central and peripheral, in the Middle East.

The Palestinians' response was the start of a new intifada (insurrection). Although their 
struggle against the authoritarian colonial regime of Zionism is unceasing, the new 
Intifada marks a significant sharpening. Protests and clashes against the Trab decision 
broke out in Ramallah, Hebron, Bethlehem and Nablus, but also internationally from members 
of Palestinian communities, organizations and solidarity. The Israeli army did what he 
knew best: he launched a wave of violence, arrests, massive use of tear gas and used 
plastic spheres but also a real fire against protesters in Gaza and the West Bank. As a 
result, it is estimated that about 3,600 Palestinians have been injured and 450 people 
have been arrested in the West Bank and Jerusalem. Four Palestinians were killed by 
Israeli firefighters.

Trabble, however, had preceded two years ago Alexis Tsipras, when at a tripartite summit 
meeting between Greece, Israel and Cyprus in November 2015 he described the occupied 
Jerusalem as Israel's "historic capital", thus legitimizing the atrocities of the Israeli 
occupying forces. The cooperation between Greece and Israel concerns transnational 
agreements of an economic and military nature. In June, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 
Netanyahu met with his Greek and Cypriot counterpart in Thessaloniki to discuss the 
promotion of the East Med submarine pipeline, a pharaonic project linking the 
Israeli-Cyprus EEZ gas fields and via Crete in the Peloponnese and from there to western 
Greece leading to Italy. The consultations on energy investments also failed to address 
the Euro-Asia Interconnector between Israel, Cyprus and Greece, which will transport 
electricity by submarine cable linking the isolated energy markets of Cyprus and Israel 
with The Greek state - like any state - does not give a damn if it is going to work with 
totalitarian regimes, since everything is for it to promote the interests of the 
indigenous bourgeoisie and the co-operation with the neo-philos loose checks and alliances 
dictated by Euro-Atlantic imperialism. It is also part of the Greek-Israeli-Cyprus-Egypt 
axis under the auspices of NATO and energy planning. He recently sold 300. Thousands of 
armored missiles in the authoritarian regime of Saudi Arabia, which, in cooperation with 
NATO, bled Yemen, while feudal and slave relations of exploitation prevailed. And the 
debate in the House was not about the atrocities that took place in the country and how 
the strengthening of the Saudi slaughterers would intensify it, but whether ... the 
missiles are sold with or without an intermediary (!). The slogan "They are the Greek 
murderers of the peoples" has never been more relevant, especially if we take into account 
the strategic upgrade of the NATO base in Souda, the transfer of nuclear from Incirlik to 
Araxos and the upgrading of the F-16 aircraft that cost 1,

The Greek state and the local bourgeoisie seek through such alliances and agreements to 
get as much as possible from the pie. They want Greece to become an energy hub for the 
transportation of natural gas in the EU. and to put the Greek bourgeoisie in a somewhat 
better position after the upheavals in the Middle-East inter-capitalist conflicts, but 
also in the derelict, broader region of the eastern Mediterranean. And that is what they 
seek to do by binding them to the Euro-Atlantic imperialist bloc. There is also Israel, 
which has a role as a conservator of Euro-Atlantic imperialism in the Middle East and the 
Eastern Mediterranean, and is a powerful counterweight to its rivals (Russia, Syria, Iran, 
China and recently Turkey). However, relations between Greece and Israel are not limited 
to economic agreements. The Greek army is involved in exercises with Israel, either in 
bilateral agreements or through NATO, and clearly (directly or indirectly) has 
responsibility for the bloodshed occurring in the Middle East, as well as the brutal 
management of migrants who tend to leave the countries which the democratic West either 
directly flattens with military operations or contributes decisively to their political 
instability indirectly to serve their interests in the region (reinforcement of 
fundamentalism, coup d'état, civil conflict in etc.). The Greek army is involved in 
exercises with Israel, either in bilateral agreements or through NATO, and clearly

East, as well as the brutal management of migrants who tend to leave the countries which

decisively to their political instability indirectly to serve their interests in the 
region (reinforcement of fundamentalism, coup d'état, civil conflict in etc.).

The state of Israel is today presented as a beacon of democracy within the darkness of 
Middle Eastern fundamentalism. As a trusted and keen partner of the EU and North American 
imperialism in the Middle East. Only the civic compliments for the Israeli state are far 
from the brutish, militarized reality of the Zionist regime. The Zionist regime founded 
the foundations of its territorial establishment after the Second World War in 1948, using 
the most vulgar and adventurous manner the anti-Semitism and barbarity of the holocaust 
experienced by the Jewish populations of Europe, eventually forming a state formation that 
consolidates in practice the three-legged "law-order-security" with the more militarized 
terms. In essence, it is an authoritarian regime of lasting emergency that applies 
apartheid to the detriment of the Palestinians, who, after having been displaced in 
military terms from the places they lived, are now also second-class citizens, since even 
internationally recognized civil rights are being circumvented daily. On the other hand, 
Israel is attacking openly against its neighboring states, conducting military operations 
that often end up in the possession of new territories. The war machine of extermination 
and the militarized "democracy" of Israel constitute, beyond demonstration of power and an 
experimental model for other bourgeois states, a potential, nightmarish image of the 
future. who after having been displaced by military terms from the places where they

The initial persecution of the Palestinians followed ghettoisation and affiliation to an 
established exception regime. The Gaza Strip is now the largest concentration camp in the 
world, while the West Bank is under military law. The blood of the Palestinians, who 
resist unrepentantly, is poured daily, and the repression expressed by Israeli police and 
the army against them is relentless. Prisons in Israel are filled with 6,500 Palestinian 
prisoners who are not only imprisoned arbitrarily and vengefully, often without adequate 
legal representation or without even knowing the accusations they are accused (or even 
without accusations), but also have the worst management.

In the territory of the Israeli state, struggles against the Zionist regime, whether made 
by Israelis (see Anarchists Against the Wall) or by Palestinians, are being repressed, 
often with victims. The contribution of Israeli total denizens and conscientious objectors 
who refuse to be classified in the Israeli army (3 years for men and 2 years for women) is 
also important, recognizing its oppressive and murderous role, while challenging the legal 
sanctions for their choice. The resistance of these fighters and fighters is a spark of 
hope in the generalized upsurge of nationalism in Israel, which once again shows how black 
the human mind can become, with parents taking their children to joyfully paint on the bombs,

The current living conditions for Palestinians are indicative of Zionist barbarity. The 
Palestinians face the continuous expansion of the Zionist settlement, which never stops. 
Whole states are built within a few months and are spreading rapidly. In August, with the 
end of the bombing of Gaza, the Israelis announced the rapture of 1,000 more acres in the 
West Bank. In C areas, which account for 60% of the West Bank, Palestinians must obtain 
permits for the construction or expansion of their homes by the Israeli authorities. If 
they do not secure the permit, their home may be demolished. In the period 2000-2007, 94% 
of the permits submitted were not approved. 37 schools in C areas are going to be 
demolished due to non-licensing by the Israeli authorities and many students are forced to 
do their lessons in tents or other inappropriate outdoors. In addition, Palestinian 
traffic is limited by checkpoints set up by the Israeli authorities by prohibiting the use 
of certain roads. In the West Bank there are 500 such control points covering 65 km of 
road available for exclusive use to Israeli settlers. And, of course, the crown of the 
regional blockade is the erection of the dividing wall built by the Israeli authorities as 
early as 2002 and is expected to reach 708 km in length and of course the Gaza Strip 
itself. The water supply of the West Bank and Gaza is controlled by Israel. Many villages 
are not connected to the national grid and are forced to collect rainwater or buy it with 
a 400% charge on the invoice. In the West Bank, arable land has irrigation systems of only 
8% due to water scarcity. It is estimated that by 2020 the water in the West Bank will 
have been exhausted.

The solutions to the Palestinian Gordian ties that have so far can not cover us as 
anarchists. The Palestinian organizations are conducting a national liberation struggle to 
create a Palestinian state, embracing it with fundamentalist and nationalist elements (see 
Fatah and Hamas) or following the path of Orthodox Leninism (see People's Front for the 
Liberation of Palestine). The Islamic Co-operation Organization recognizes East Jerusalem 
as the capital of Palestine and western Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. For us, the 
solution to any kind of stasis is a departure from the social and class emancipation of 
the oppressed. We can not, however, completely ignore the real facts of reality, the fact 
that the anarchist militants in the region are a minority pole with limited social 
abilities. Consequently, anti-authoritarian and anti-sectarian positions, unfortunately, 
do not have the prospect of being socialized in the wider parts of the opposing, forming 
another pole. But this does not make us stand solidarity with Palestinians and 
Palestinians struggling for their own survival against the tyrannical regime imposed by 
Israel.

As anarchists we support the unprecedented organization and counter-attack of oppressed 
and exploited for the destruction of the state and capitalism. We support the global 
social revolution that will rebuild the state to rectify instead a federal system of 
self-governing communities. We propose the elimination of capitalist relations of 
production and private ownership and their replacement by self-management, the 
socialization of the means of production and the organization of production and 
distribution under the following conditions: from each according to its capabilities, to 
each according to needs. This struggle does not know frontiers and national distinctions.

In the wars that are being carried out for the sake of power and capital, the proletarians 
are the ones who become northern in the canons of the sovereigns. War is a way for capital 
to emerge from the structural crisis of over-accumulation that capitalism itself gave 
birth to, destroying stable and variable capital - through production and workers - 
creating new markets and conditions for profitability for capitalists . We have to realize 
that the oppressed and the hard of this world do not have to divide anything between us. 
Our common enemy is state and capital, not people who are in the same social and class as 
ours. That is why our class and international solidarity,

Translated and edited from Sosyal Savas with additional edits from the Black Rose/Rosa 
Negra Social Media Team. ---- Anarchist activist Ishak Tayak has been arrested and accused 
of being a member of the Islamic, pro-capitalist Gülen movement linked to the 2016 failed 
coup attempt. In the pre-dawn hours of October 2, special ops police raided his Istanbul 
home, where they beat him before taking him into custody. Ishak, a Kurdish self-identified 
anarchist and atheist, was later charged with downloading Bylock, a messaging app used by 
the movement, in 2014. ---- Charges denied, lack of evidence ---- Ishak denies the 
charges, as well as any ties with the Gülenists, and allegedly, the state has yet to 
present substantial evidence supporting its claims. ---- "I am an anarchist, an atheist, a 
person who defends the rights of nature, people, and animals," Ishak said in a statement. 
Under the state of emergency, he says the rule of law has been suspended and any semblance 
of justice discarded: "I'm being tried as a Gülenist-despite the fact that I'm an 
anarchist and have no connections[to this or any organization]."

The Turkish state accuses the Gülenists, led by the US-based Muslim cleric Fetullah Gülen, 
of orchestrating a July 15, 2016 coup attempt and considers it a terrorist organization. 
In the months after the coup, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has 
aggressively attempted to link dissidents-left and right-to the Gülenists, an effort to 
both consolidate its power and justify heavy repression of the opposition. Over 50,000 
people have been jailed in post-coup purges.

Pro-government media complicity
In the days after Ishak's arrest, pro-government media dubbed him "the most secret civil 
Bylock user," making unsubstantiated claims about his alleged links to several opposition 
groups.

"If you look at the news, you would think he's James Bond," Ishak's brother told Turkish 
news site OdaTV.

The press says Ishak, an anarchist, actually infiltrated the anarchist movement and 
spearheaded a 2012 May Day action. At the same time, it made unfounded claims about his 
supposed connections to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Revolutionary People's 
Liberation Front (DHKP-C), respectively a key  political group in the freedom struggle of 
Rojava and a Marxist political organization. By claiming a Gülenist has infiltrated the 
anarchist movement-and trying to link that person to other major dissident movements-the 
state shows it is prepared to carry out operations against anarchists, as it has against 
Gülenists, PKK, DHKP-C and opposition political parties.

Ishak's actual history
But Ishak's personal history makes it equally clear he has no ties to any organization, 
let alone a religious one. He was imprisoned for two and a half months after the 2012 May 
Day action, and the case was dismissed in June for lack of evidence. As a university 
student, Ishak found himself constantly in conflict with pro-Gülen/religious students as a 
result of his atheism, according to testimony he gave during his arraignment. In 2011, he 
even successfully applied to have "Islam" removed from the "religion" box on his ID card.

Ishak, who works fifty-plus hour weeks as a bartender and has time for little else, says 
his lifestyle is incompatible with a conservative religious organization whose members 
tend to be the well heeled and powerful. Ishak, aside from being an atheist and 
anti-authoritarian, has long hair and beard. He also drinks alcohol and has tattoos and 
multiple piercings, all prohibited by traditional Islam. As his brother told OdaTV, "All 
of Ishak's beliefs and ideas are fundamentally opposed to[the Gülen movement]."

Remains in custody
Ishak is being held in Silivri Prison, a high-security facility, alongside others accused 
of links with the Gülenist movement. While in custody, he has been harassed by prison 
personnel demanding he cut his hair or else have his visitor rights revoked.

After two months of waiting-during which his lawyers were unable to see the contents of 
his case file or learn the exact charges against him-Ishak has been given a February 13 
court date.

In a court statement, he says was not taken to the hospital for rib pain resulting from 
the beating he received from police.

In early October, road and road operators reportedly forced the government to back down on 
orders amending the Labor Code. What is it really ? Will not the past compromise be 
misleading ? ---- The context of the agreement between the employers and the 
representative trade union organizations in the road transport is based on two elements: 
the breaking of the Labor Code organized by the governmental orders on the one hand, a 
minimum of balance of forces favorable to the workers and women workers in the sector. 
---- With several days of strikes, some filter dams and attempts to occupy, and despite a 
relative union disunity, truckers have obtained, with this agreement of October 4, the 
collective agreement continues, in their professional branch, to take precedence over 
agreements business. Commentators of the class struggle hastened to see it as a " betrayal 
  " of the inter-professional movement. This sentence, besides having no interest when it 
comes from people who do not organize struggles, is out of step with the reality of this 
autumn 2017. When there is a strong inter-professional movement, organize its end in 
sector-by-sector or even business-to-business trader is a well-known, reprehensible tactic 
to fight.

But we were not in this situation in recent months. Therefore, it is not stupid that the 
workers of the few mobilized sectors try to extract sectoral gains.

But precisely, are the achievements announced really there ? Road and Road refused their 
premiums and their 13 th month can be reviewed on a company - that an order explicitly 
provide. Have they obtained that, on these subjects, their collective agreement continues 
to prevail ? Yes and no...

In 2016, the situation was closer to a general movement (SNCF, refineries, garbage ...), 
and it could interest the government to divide it by making concessions to a key sector 
such as road transport. Thus, while the Labor Act provides that a reduction in overtime 
pay may be imposed by company agreements, road and road workers have won that this is not 
the case in their industry.

This time it is not the same. In reality, there has been a sleight of hand, which may not 
be long overdone. The agreement provides that "  compensatory elements for night work, 
holidays and Sundays will now be an integral part of the hierarchical minimum wages  " ; 
likewise for the 13 thmonth. In other words, these bonuses disappear as such and will be 
included in the salary, the amounts of which continue to be fixed by the collective 
agreement. Thus, they can not effectively be challenged by company agreements. But that is 
the situation as of October 4, 2017 and not beyond. As soon as there is a question of 
discussing premiums again, even if they are provided for in the collective agreement, the 
orders will apply to road and road transport, and "  bargaining  " may be required on a 
company-by-company basis !

The "   specificities   " of ports and docks

How could it be otherwise from a strictly legal point of view ? With the September 2017 
ordinances, the law provides, for a range of topics, to remove the mandatory superiority 
of the collective agreement from the company agreement. In this context, 
consensus-building "  social partners  " may well sign agreements in their sector 
providing that the convention remains applicable everywhere and for all subjects ... this 
will have no legal value. As soon as a boss decides not to do it, he can brandish the law, 
which stipulates the opposite !

The situation is different for the dockers: having a special status, the profession has 
been confirmed that "  all the stipulations in force of the unified national collective 
agreement ports and handling relating to the employment contract retains its imperative 
character, given the specificities of the branch recognized by the law in 2008 and in 2015 
  ". There, we can really talk about non-enforcement, but this has been made possible by 
sector-specific legislation.

These agreements thus make it possible to limit the breakage in these two sectors, and it 
is not negligible in a period where the tendency is rather to the social defeats for our 
camp ; but they are by no means "  major flaws  " in the ordinance system as it may have 
been written too quickly ...

Christian (Paris South East suburbs)

Reminder on the hierarchy of standards
A priori, all professional sectors are potentially concerned by the calling into question 
of what is called the "  hierarchy of norms  ". Over XX th century, the Labor Code is 
built on the following principles:

* the Labor Code provided a set of standards, applicable in all companies and benefiting 
all employees ;

* a collective agreement (trade or industry) could not be less favorable to employees than 
the Labor Code ;

* a company agreement could not be less favorable to employees than the collective 
agreement. What was achieved through union struggles in large companies or during 
widespread strikes also benefited the employees of establishments, businesses and sectors 
where the balance of power was lower.

Starting in the 1980s, many left and right governments had already undermined this 
principle, but the so-called "  principle of favor  " remained . The Labor Act 2016 
canceled it. For all that concerns the working time, it is company by company that it will 
be "  negotiated  ".

In fact, in many cases, where the number of union members does not create sufficient 
strength, the boss will impose his views by blackmail the job. The 2017 Labor Law, through 
the ordinances, considerably expands the field of subjects to "  negotiate  " company by 
company, without the collective agreement representing any floor.

Reading by Embat, Libertarian Organization of Catalonia , of the elections to the 
Parliament of Catalonia on December 21. ---- 1.- Despite the voices that attempted to put 
an end to the so-called Sovereignty Process, its numerical strength, its cumulative level 
and its weight in society, as well as its capacity for confrontation, have been steadily 
increasing. The mobilization of the crowds sustained and increasing for a few weeks was 
able to impose the realization of an illegal referendum on October 1 (unpublished in 
Western societies), a massive general strike on October 3 and a rehearsal of territorial 
control with the strike of the cuts of the routes of transport of the day 8 of November. 
There is no other European society that currently has grassroots committees and groups of 
citizens self-organized in favor of the Republic and against the government of their State 
in all the neighborhoods of the cities to the last corner of Catalonia. Popular pressure 
imposed the unilateral proclamation of the Republic.

2.- Against this the State responded with the application of article 155: the pure and 
simple repression, with political prisoners and with the call of the 21D elections. The 
State understood them plebiscitively and called for the mobilization of their supporters 
while attempting to disrupt the pro-independence forces through repression, 
judicialization of politics, the intervention of institutions and messages of 
discouragement through the media. In short, independentism was in the elections in 
defensive positions. Another handicap for independence, a priori, was the visible division 
between the two parties that led the sovereignty block.

However, independentism has managed to add votes .

3.- Due to the plebiscite character of these elections, the unionism in Catalonia has been 
unified in the candidacy of Citizens(although with some resistance from the PSC). Unionism 
closes rows in a "No to independence" seeking referents of unity between Spaniards or 
based on Hispanic identity. It should be noted that the vote for Citizens is also a 
rejection of the Popular Party and is perceived by its voters not as an ultra-right vote 
but as a vote for a liberal, centrist, modern, anti-caste party ... that differs from the 
ways of doing of the PP On the other hand Citizens professed a tough stance against 
independentism and sometimes exceeded the PP itself on the right. This without ignoring a 
possible useful vote on the list that is presumed winner. In any case, if the State 
continues to apply repression without measure (as it seems to be willing to do it with the 
new charges) it can erode this victory.

Citizens base their electoral strength on a part of Catalan society essentially 
Spanish-speaking, linked to their family and cultural origins in other regions of Spain 
and - which is important to emphasize - consumer of the Spanish media that these weeks 
They have bombarded the orange party.

This sector of the population has a common problem in all the metropolitan European belts, 
threatened by right-wing populism. The most deprived neighborhoods fall into the 
ideological or sociocultural orbit of the most reactionary sector of our society and not 
the middle class working and professional (and much less in the revolutionary left). It is 
not the same to be born and grow in families and neighborhoods that value culture, who are 
interested in associations or popular culture, who are interested in politics, which is 
linguistically diverse, to be born and grow both in those families who They only seek to 
survive, as in those who have already passed through this stage and now enjoy a wage 
position with a certain purchasing power or who try to get into the social elevator of 
"entrepreneurship"

It is necessary to understand that this part of the population has - in general - an idea 
not only of the national question, but also on social issues, on civil rights, on 
feminism, etc. that place it in the antipodes of the popular movement when its social base 
should be part.

4.- From the position of the popular movement of Catalonia, it is very necessary to put 
the focus of the political conflict between Catalonia and Spain in social policies. This 
does not mean renouncing the national question, if not working in parallel. It is vital a 
simultaneous construction to solve the material problems from the burial in Spain and from 
the republican logic to look for a better country for its people. The revolutionary 
militancy must be involved in unions, neighborhood associations, housing collectives, 
revitalize tides, etc. to be in contact with the population most hit by the crisis. There 
have to be some demands that clash with the status quo from the social one, perhaps 
starting with the social measures repealed by the TC or defending the attack against the 
Catalan public school.

We believe that independentism must abandon the victimistic tone and stop creating an 
identity on the basis of moral superiority as they are attitudes that alienate 
less-favored classes. Excluding Catalanism leaves wide sectors of the people outside the 
ideological framework of independence, leaving a land paid for unionism.

In short, we must strengthen and consolidate all those incipient Poble Fort structures 
that are worthy of it and prepare them to expand our social base by going to the popular 
classes with a clear message: the break up and the creation of a new society is vital to 
have a better life.
